And the Sand Came (Lyric Version)

March 19, 2013; March 29, 2013 (lyric)

This is a longer version of the poem that might be better suited for song lyrics.

Vessel discarded

Thrown in the pit

Outside the camp

Left in the wilderness.

And the sand came

And filled my mouth

And the sand came

And filled me inside

And the sand came

And I was full

And the sand came

Bones of departed

All around me

Bleached by the sun

Death in the wilderness

And the sand came

And filled my mouth

And the sand came

And filled me inside

And the sand came

And I was full

And the sand came

Vision distorted

Illusion of love

Thirsty mirages

Dry in the wilderness

And the sand came

And filled my mouth

And the sand came

And filled me inside

And the sand came

And I was full

And the sand came

Rider dismounted

Dug down to me

Lifted me up

High in the wilderness.

And the rain came

And filled my mouth

And the rain came

And filled me inside

And the rain came

And I was full

And the rain came
